For a medicare insurance to cover it, Medicare itself has to first cover it. Medicare pays the first 80 percent of most surgery that is approved ( of their set rates with doctor and hospital) If it is covered by medicare almost all of the vendors will cover it.
If Medicare does not approve it, none of the vendors will.
The doctors office where you are inquiring about this, their billing and coding department will know what insurance normally pays for what procedure codes and how much
